International students also began the new academic year at the academy. This year, students from 15 different countries joined the community. They were welcomed and wished success in their studies by Assoc. professor Regina Karvelienė, Deputy Director for Academic Affairs at the Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy.
The students listened to a brief presentation on the Academy’s internal procedures, familiarized themselves with the study processes, and received other relevant information presented by Beatričė Poškuvienė, Coordinator of International Studies at the Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy.
To ensure a smooth integration not only at the academy but also in our country and city, community officers from the Šiauliai County Police Headquarters came to speak with the students, familiarizing them with the laws in effect and established procedures in Lithuania.
Each student also received gifts—Vilnius University merchandise and a reflector to help keep them safer on the road.
